"samples/playbook_gui.yml" does not exist, but mentioned in GUI

The title says all. README.md refers to samples/playbook_gui.ym, but this file does not exist.

Thanks @troppens . we will fix this.

Sample playbook for GUI:

---
- hosts: scale01.example.com
  vars:
    - scale_install_localpkg_path: /path/to/Spectrum_Scale_Standard-5.0.4.0-x86_64-Linux-install
  roles:
    - core/precheck
    - core/node
    - core/cluster
    - gui/precheck
    - gui/node
    - gui/cluster

Please set scale_cluster_gui: true for required host entry.

@rajan-mis - It would also be nice to have an example inventory file. At other places of this project I see mention of credentials for a GUI admin user. Not sure if this is required and what happens, if they are not provided. Some more explanation would be helpful for first-time users of these roles and Spectrum Scale.

Good catch, that file is missing.

#604 should fix this (until someone volunteers to write a sample for the GUI roles)

Found this thread helpful. As a follow on tip...

After following the instructions above, when I directed my browser to the GUI, it prompted me to create a new user for GUI admin:

/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/mkuser <user_name> -g SecurityAdmin

This allowed me to setup a GUI user for login.
